STEPPING UP FOR KIDS What governments and communities should do to support kinship families A New KIDS COUNT Policy Report The Annie E. Casey Foundation Across every generation and culture, grandparents, other relatives, and close family friends have stepped forward to raise children whose parents can no longer care for them. This time-honored tradition, known as kinship care, helps protect children and maintains strong family, community, and cultural connections. When children cannot remain safely with their parents, other family and friends can provide a sense of security, positive identity, and belonging. |
